Will I get better captioning if I connect directly to the router instead of using WiFi?

Our Clarity phone is not using WIFI. Captioning is GREAT ... quick and 99% accurate.

From a technical POV, hard wire is always better. I use wifi but the phone and router are in the same room. However, I don't see a network cable port on the phone.

I doubt it. Connecting directly to the router should not make a difference at all. The captioning is done by a person after the connection is made. A very shirt delay should be expected and the accuracy depends on the individual translating.

Yes but you need to make some changes to the TP Link. Here is a site with instructions: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/ConfiguringTwoWirelessRoutersWithOneSSIDNetworkNameAtHomeForFreeRoaming.aspxI did it with my FIOS router.

I only needed my computer to go through the set-up process(key in codes to link some channels and register my Roku with Amazon to be able to play Prime films...) and then this little Roku only needs wifi signal to work, not my computer at all. Your internet speed needs to be at a above minimum rate so you don't need to wait for "loading" many times through out the film. I had to help one of my friends to upgrade her slow AT&T; internet to double her speed then she doesn't have those "loadings" on her screen anymore.

Yes. I am currently doing just that. Keep in mind though, it is not a WiFi router. You have to plug an Ethernet cable into it or plug an access point in it for WiFi.

Nope, just link it to your router, I had no problems with this unit, I am still using it today, no problems.

Hey, if you have permission than it is not pirated signal smart guy. Anyway his router needs to be located in a position to provide you with optimal WiFi signal and yes you may need an amplifier to achieve good signal. The Hughs dish has nothing to do with your home as if is positioned to get internet from the satellite in the sky.

Yes, mine came with a PDF manual (has pictures), that explains how to do this.The range is much less that it says it can do. I was using to setup wireless security camera's. Between the camera's dropping the signal & the pepwave dropping the signal did not work very well. I use a cradlepoint router for my wireless internet... works much better.

No. This is only a modem. That means it can translate data between cable (coming from the wall) and Ethernet (going to your home network). If you have cable internet and you're using this modem, you will also need a "wireless router" in order to use wireless. Try searching for that.

Looks like Gary has answered your question. My phone is set up on my Wi-fi in my dining area; modem is in office, several feet away. I will, periodically, get "burps" in internet service and have to re-set up Captions. Easy enough to do. Just follow instructions. Don't forget - you will need your WiFi pass word to re-establish the connection. As Gary also pointed out, you do have to get used to the lag in the caption and, you might want to explain to your caller lag in conversation - maybe ask them to slow down if it's something important you are discussing. This phone is outstanding and, worth every penny. I recommend to everyone, whether there is a hearing issue or not. Go for it! Looks like Gary has answered your question.

The simple answer is yes. For a longer explanation though, your router doesn't have much effect on either of those. Generally speaking, all routers do is help you secure and control how your home network functions. What will actually determine how well you can do such activities is the internet package you have with your internet service provider. Higher maximum download speeds will make sure most problems with using those services, if any issues do arise, are not on your end.Basically, if everything's already working fine, no you don't need it.

No. You only need a wireless network router and just follow the on screen instructions.

Maybe. It depends on how capable is your Wifi router. I had the same problem with my router being upstairs. I ended up buying a new better router and it still didn't help. What I ended up doing is reconfiguring my original router as wireless access point and keeping it within about 20 feet from the Roku box. Now the streaming problem have disappeared with Netflix and Amazon VOD. Actually when you stream, the Roku box provides an indication (in terms of horizontal dots) of how good the signal strength is. If you get 3 or greater dots (maximum is 4), you have a good connection. The signal strength in the settngs menu also should say the strength is good or excellent (fair isn't good enough). I still have the stutter with IMAX and some other HiDef sites but I feel now this might be either a problem with these sites not being able to deliver HD traffic very well or my Comcast connection not being fast enough. I get &gt;5Mbps consistently though it ranges between 3-13Mbps. I recommend you check your internet BW limit on U-verse first. If you are getting less than 1.5Mbps you will have a stutter independent of your Wifi on Netflix. If you are getting &gt; 3Mbps then most likely it's your Wifi. Hope this helps.

No. I set up this router yesterday over wireless. Just make sure you use the password printed on the sticker in back of the device. It literally took 5 minutes to set up.

Yes. They call it bridging mode, you can use the default method of bridging under wireless settings or there are some youtube videos that show a slightly more advanced method. Also a bit of patience, for whatever reason it is slow to allow access to the web initially but works fine within half an hour or less.

Yes, as long as your MAIN Wireless router has these options. It can be done manually through the software router set-up.

It works good if it is connected to a router. Not the best picture quality but it works good for the money.
